Send them back together. Separation is wrong. That simple. Even Fox News is starting to speak out about it.

Immigrants lower wages.

If you want to help others you go help them. Don't bring them into your home. If needed you build refugee camps.

Then you make your government a republic with limited voting because of things like IQ. And you don't let women vote because emotions and tough choices need to be made. This is a crazy thought, but maybe you just run the government like the founders intended.

See my sig quote.

This entire situation is squarely on the shoulders of the parents who brought them here.

It's not a real situation. You even admit that:

quote:

then I read that 10,000 of those kids were unaccompanied in the first place.


This, like the Russian Collusion narrative and whatever Stormy Daniels was meant to prove, is just another outlandish and frankly un-american and treasonous attempt to attack and subvert the fairly elected President of The United States. The people pushing this narrative are unhinged and dangerous. And the media is in their pocket.

We have enough societal problems in this country. We need to work on fixing those. We can't police and provide welfare to the entire planet. It's starting to have serious consequences on this country. We need to fix our own societal problems before we move on to fixing Earth's.

It sucks that there are third world countries. Poverty and crime is an unfortunate and depressing reality of the world we live in. The answer is for the collective people of that country to rise up in revolution and install a better system in place. It has to come from within. There's frankly nothing we can do about it.

That it is the latest in an endless stream of faux issues put forward by both sides in an effort to excite their dimwit bases and avoid addressing actual issues.

The real priority should be creating a faster path to citizenship or more accessible legal ways to enter the country. These people are coming regardless.

This happens ALL the time and not just to immigrants. I can give you a million examples of when kids are taken away from parents that can't follow the law.

It's a huge distraction from the IG report.

Lots of the kids coming in with their "parents" aren't their parents at all. In fact, they're not even related to them, nor do they care about the kids. They serve as a way to get even shittier criminals (not just parents with kids breaking the law to cross the border, but real criminals) into our country.

I personally don't care. It's their parents fault for breaking the law, just like I don't care when a American citizen breaks a law and gets separated from their kids. Actions have consequences.

My feelings are that the country needs to stop biting the bait (this immigration shite) that the left is dangling to distract EVERYONE from the real bombshell news coming out of the OIG report.

Honest feelings? It's terrible to take children away from their parents. I don't think anyone would disagree. But at the same time, what happens to the children of criminals who are jailed in the US? Why should we cut slack for those breaking the law just because they're immigrants?

Problem is, they're not ALL the children of their so called parents in this situation.

Secondly, I believe in following the law. Period. The law in question has been in place since 1997. Why all of the sudden has it become Trump's problem to fix? Congress needs to get off their arse and pass a law and stop doing this blame-game bull shite.

So the US Government should care more about the well-being of these kids than their own parents? The only things that prompts a separation is the parents voluntarily choosing to cross illegally with their kids, then getting caught.

If they go to a port of entry, and claim asylum before illegally crossing, then the families aren't separated; they remain together while the asylum claim is processed.

This is 100% on the parents, and yes, I think it's awful kids are temporarily separated from their families because their parents chose to break the law.

Its antithetical to what the US used to stand for.

We used to be the nation people looked up to, cherished to reach our borders in search of better opportunities.

Now we are Trump's America...fearful and selfish

I feel sorry for the kids, but children will always pay the heaviest price for their parents bad decisions.

Don’t commit crimes, it’s really not that difficult .

It's manufactured, but it fits their narrative better than anything else they've tried and has bad optics. I don't think the masses are buying it though. It's not like we left our country and found families to separate. I give it two more days before the next crisis begins.

IMHO, this is a most brilliant Leftist strategy for attacking Trump. I suggested this very strategy months ago when the news of "The Caravan" started. I suggested that the Left engineer a massive invasion of illegals from south of the border in order to peg Trump as either ineffective or monstrous or both.

These particular attacks have Trump on the ropes and have erased all good news arising from all things Trump. IMHO, this new attack might have been better being launched at the end of this summer, but, the Left had to get the good news about NK and the GDP out of here. This contrived story has done exactly that.

Now all that remains for the Left is to block any and all of Trump's efforts to fix this problem. This contrived issue MUST stay on the front page.

Didn't Sy Hersh recently say that the best issue for the Left right now is this one, given Trump's success?

PS I know that some feel anger towards me for my ideas that the USA is already conquered, will not exist in 200 years and that some of us should explore how a secession might work -- I apologize if I have hurt your feelings or offended anyone in any way.
